So I get an arrival time of 1:00-1:30. I get in line at 1:15. I then have to wait in line to go through their security check. I get past the security check and it's 1:45. They direct me to the line that says "late check-in" which looks to be 10x longer than the "on-time" line. So, to be "on-time" you have to arrive at least 30 minutes (better yet an hour) before your scheduled time. What a fail by Carnival. ☹️

My friend has an early flight with his cruise out of Seattle. I wondered if anyone can tell me (or him) appr time to get off the ship if everything goes right. Obviously he'll be up early and walk off but I didn't know if anyone had any recent or past experience with this ship/cruise port. The other thing is his brother only has a birth certificate. I'm not sure if that will add more time for him getting off the ship. Thanks

The hardest thing for me is keeping a smile off of my face knowing how peaceful my cruise will be.

Where is this? MSC soft serve ice cream is yummy.

Sorry to hear that. 🙁

Forgot to ask. Do you when, and how to tell when double points show up? My booking will be 13 months from now so I should get the double points with the $50.00 OBC.

Did the OBC show up while your booking or after? Did you contact a rep or did you just go through the online process for booking?

I wouldn't be too concerned because many people aren't isolating anyway. I'm sure there are some but I'd bet there are many who are going about their daily routines regardless of Covid status. At least that's what I've been witnessing.

I just the email myself.....so happy. 😁

The question lingers as to what exactly "lab-administered" means. When I've done CVS/Walgreens tests I pulled up to the drive through, swabbed my own nose, handed my "test kit" to a cashier, and drove out. To me that's not any more "lab-administered" than a proctored at-home test. I'll bet people will be able to board using the at-home proctored method but I wouldn't want to bet my vacation on it. Hopefully someone here on the boards will "take on for the team" and try the proctored method after Aug 29th to possibly give us more clarity on this.

You can still test if you want. 🙂

More room available for the rest of us. 🙂

If MSC will still be accepting CVS/Walgreen then I can't then proctored tests should be ok since IMO CVS/Walgreen tests are not "lab-administered". In fact, the last time I went to Walgreens for cruise Covid test the associate handed the test kit to without even asking for my ID.
